## Description

About 320 tonnes of air cargo moved through La Palma Airport (IATA: SPC, ICAO: GCLA) in 2024, down from 565 tonnes in 2018 — a small and shrinking volume dominated by bananas and other Canary Islands produce. The Aena-run island airport sits roughly 8 km south of Santa Cruz de La Palma and handles about 1.4 million passengers a year. There are no scheduled freighter services; goods travel as belly cargo on domestic flights operated by Binter Canarias and Canaryfly, or via mainland hubs. Most of the island's freight in fact moves by sea through the port of Santa Cruz de La Palma. For larger air-cargo needs, the nearest gateways are Gran Canaria (LPA) and Tenerife (TFN/TFS).
